Be it known that I, HORACE HOWARD, of lVooster, in the count-y of Wayneand State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lamps;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and eX- actdescription.

The top of the vessel is of anoblong shape the width being about equal to half its length. Near oneend on the top is an opening to receive the oil or lard and is coveredwith a lid B, Fig. l, and near the other end on the top are placed thetubes for the wicks C, Fig. l and Fig. 2. The bottom of the Vessel maybe of the same width as the top and of suitable length and shape tocorrespond to the circular part of the sides. The stand or bottom partof the of the vessel and one of said hinges G, Fig. Y

l, is made fast to the top of the stand and the other hinge H, Fig. 2,extends downward into the hollow cylinder E, and is made fast to theelevator and by a pressure on the knob or thumb piece of the elevator F,the lamp may be tilted or suiciently inclined to supply the oil ormelted lard to the wicks.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-The tilting and holding the lamps in a horizontal or inclined positionby. means of an elevator as set forth.
